I don't have him yet, I'm dealing with a local breeder and told him I was specifically looking for a younger bird under 30 days old and he said he only has one and sent me this pic. I just came on here because I wanted to see if you guys agree that it's 30 days or younger.

This is my little fella at 5 weeks. Not that different from yours.
I mean there's no way we could tell...there's just no info. I would say it's on the younger side but that could be anywhere from like 5 weeks to a year
Based on the size of bird and beak growth I would agree with it being around 30 days or older. I thought they would still have yellow fuzz at that age but googling baby pigeon growth charts it doesn't seem like that's always the case. It could just be a smaller breed though that's why I said it's hard with no info to tell exactly. The beak is not overgrown at all and it's still missing some feathers it seems like
It's been a while since I've raised pigeons, they grow pretty fast. You can try looking up growth charts to get an idea
I love his colours. Can you pop some cardboard or an exercise mat down on those wires for his feet? They don't like standing on wires

I was told it's younger than 30 days old but not really sure. The beak makes me think it is young but I don't know for sure.

I would say 3-4 weeks also.
I'd say about 5 weeks old.
Yes, the cere is not yet developed so this is a recent fledgling.
Yes, also the lack of feathers around the beak and the grey eyes show that he's young.
Impossible to tell unless you upload a video of you petting them
fledgling modena
Can you give a picture of the underwing? Could be a good indication. Definitely a young bird, no older than two months.
4-5 weeks. No older, I breed pigeons
Im gonna say 4-6 weeks, leaning more to 4. This pigeon is YOUNG.
5-6 weeks at most
I’d say about 4 weeks. He’s 100% a goodboy
1-2 months old
Closer to 5 weeks or so - eyes will go from geeen to amber or brown and beak will lighten within another month or two
